Summary[edit] Description: Strombus peruvianus Swainson, 1823 - Peruvian conch (abapertural view) (public display, Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA) This species is also known as Lobatus peruvianus. The gastropods (snails & slugs) are a group of molluscs that occupy marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments. Most gastropods have a calcareous external shell (the snails). Some lack a shell completely, or have reduced internal shells (the slugs & sea slugs & pteropods). Most members of the Gastropoda are marine. Most marine snails are herbivores (algae grazers) or predators/carnivores. The Peruvian conch shown above is part of the Panamic Province: "Much richer in species than its Caribbean counterpart, the tropical-water Panamic area extends from the Gulf of California, along the Pacific coast of Central America to Ecuador. Known for its wide tidal ranges, its sandy-mud shores and offshore waters abound in colorful murexes, cones, olives and cowries. Over 2,500 species are known from here, including the endemic tent olive."

Summary[edit] Description: English: A Queen Conch (Aliger gigas) from the Caribbean found in the aisle. These are often found in old churchyards and have caused a lot of confusion as to why! Many Scottish aristocrats had properties such as sugar plantations in the Caribbean and by the late 17th century almost every country house had them on display on mantelpieces and they were even used as flower bed edgings. Using them as decorative features in churchyards was a natural extension of this. Date: 12 May 2021, 12:58:59. Source: Own work. Author: Rosser1954.
